I got this for my wife since she has a heavy foot and I already have an Escort Max2 in my vehicle.

This is a solid, entry level radar detector. There are some features missing from it that are available on higher end models, it just depends on your price range and what features and functions you need for your driving habits.

ProsMonitors all popular bands like K, Ka, X and Pop Instant-onDetects lasersHas different driving modes - Auto, Auto No X band and highway.Easy to use top buttons for power and functionsComes with a case, power cord, windshield mount and of course, the instructionsIs Escort Live Compatible **** You need to purchase an Escort Live power cord and the annual subscription for this feature to workAdjustable volume and also a mute button on the detector itself and the power cord as well

ConsNo USB port. You can't update the detector yourself via a laptop, would have to be sent into Escort for updates (if required)No Audio port - For those who want to use it on a motorcycle, you can't plug it into your helmet speakers or earbuds.Windshield mount is somewhat cheap, if you live in a sunny, hot area (like I do) there's a chance it could pop off your windshield on a hot day. I suggest looking into either a mirror mount (they work amazing) or at least an upgraded escort heavy duty suction cup mount.

From doing some research, this is basically the same detector as the X70 minus a few features like USB port, Color display (X55 has a red display) and the audio jack. Other than that, from my research, internally, the S55 is identical to the X70. The S55 is about $100 cheaper than the X70 so you'll have to see if the differences are worth paying more for.

From using it around town and on the highway, it picks up radar signals from a great distance and the alerts give you enough time to slow down to avoid any problems.

It's a great detector and for the price, it's hard to beat.

I hope my review was helpful to you. I tried to keep it as accurate and detailed as possible.

To be totally transparent, I purchased this product at a discounted price in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Works really well on highways and that's primarily what I got it for. When I drive in the city I usually just turn it off due to false alarms and the fact that I usually don't drive fast in the city. Gives a pretty good warning distance anywhere from 1/4 mile all the way up to about 1 mile.

The Passport S55 works well. I have purchase less expensive detectors in the past and have had more false readings than I have with this unit. Overall, I am pleased with my purchase and the unit preforms as expected.
